stage (old hair) to an active growing phase (new hair).\u00a0When this new growth starts, the old hair is detached from the scalp, which is expressed in hair loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the hair loss continues for over 2 weeks, you should stop the treatment and consult a doctor. <strong>Stop taking Minoxidil Abece and contact a doctor immediately if you have any of the following symptoms &#8211;
